February 24,2026
Manchester United secured a narrow 1-0 win over Everton at Hill Dickinson Stadium yesterday, thanks to a late goal from substitute Benjamin Sesko. The Slovenian striker came off the bench to score the winner in the 71st minute, sweeping in a first-time shot from Bryan Mbeumo's pass.
This victory extends Michael Carrick's unbeaten streak to six games, with five wins and one draw. The win also moves United up to fourth place in the Premier League table, three points ahead of Chelsea and Liverpool.
Goalkeeper Senne Lammens had a solid performance, making crucial saves to keep Everton at bay. Carrick praised Lammens' composure, saying, "He looked really calm and composed in a tough environment."
Sesko's goal was his second in as many games off the bench, making him a valuable asset for United. Carrick hailed Sesko's finish as "ruthless" and praised his confidence.
Up next for United is a home match against Crystal Palace on Sunday.
